[Magdalen] Prayers for discernment

[Marion Thompson]

Wow, I rejoice in your rather speedy success!  Yes, the winds and that 
notorious stretch of highway in winter, so given to fogs and snow 
squalls and many multi-vehicle pile-ups.  The train stops at Port Hope 
which could be useful!

As I tootled through Gananoque in recent drives,  I thought of you and 
wondered what is the status of your piece of the Canadian Shield project.

One day I'm heading to Montreal, another day like today out of the blue an old friend, who was my boss for years in the 80's, phones from Port Hope about something else and says again 'Come to Port Hope.  I'll help you in every way'.  A house I've loved  on the listings is on her interesting street.  She knows everybody and would certainly get me launched!  My cousin, who lived across the road here, is a few miles down the road from Port Hope and is keen keen keen for me to be closer.
